Show Notes
Colic is one word that strikes fear into the heart of every horse owner — and when surgery is mentioned, that fear often doubles.
In this episode of Off Duty, we share the powerful real-life story of Mr Trigger, a much-loved pony who developed a surgical colic and came through the other side.
Through his owner Ruth’s honest account, we talk about:
-
The early signs of colic and how quickly things can change
-
What surgical colic really means today
-
The importance of prompt action, teamwork, and collaboration
-
How far equine veterinary medicine has come
-
And why surgery is no longer the last-ditch option it once was
This is a hopeful, informative conversation for horse owners, parents, and anyone who has ever sat up all night worrying about a pony.
🎄 Christmas Bonus Special coming next week!
We’ll be sharing a festive extra episode featuring wonderful children from Santa Paws at Arra Vets — full of warmth, laughter, and Christmas magic.
🎙️ Off Duty is a podcast about pets, ponies, people — and the stories that happen beyond the clinic and the yard.
